Most VMware migrations start and end with one goal, cutting licensing costs. That goal is too small. This session shows what a modern platform can do once it replaces the hypervisor, and why infrastructure teams should expect more from the move.

George Crump and VergeIO engineer Larry Ludlow open with a short look at the VMware market, then spend the rest of the hour on screen. This is a demo-heavy session. After a few setup slides, you watch the new Verge MCP plug-in run live against a real VergeOS environment. Create virtual machines, build networks, troubleshoot a slow host, and move workloads, all through plain language, with the administrator approving every action.

You will also see how VergeOS lowers cost and extends hardware life by combining compute, storage, and networking in a single code base. That design removes the layered licensing and operational drag of a traditional VMware stack.

Truth in IT's David Litman hosts the session. Dave sets up each segment, keeps the demo moving, and runs the live Q&A so your questions get answered in real time. Bring your migration and AI questions.

Attendees leave with three points. A VMware replacement should deliver more than licensing savings. Infrastructure modernization should improve both economics and day-to-day operations. AI-powered infrastructure management works today, and it can be put in place securely through an MCP-based integration with VergeOS.
